Weeding is probably the least fun part of gardening. Aching backs and tired muscles are just part of the gardening process right? It doesn’t really have to be that way, you can work smarter instead of harder and keep your vegetable garden weed free.

Start Early

This year I tilled a new garden. I knew going in that new gardens tend to have the most weeds because they haven’t been prepared year over year, so I started early. In March I tilled the garden up and waited.

Sure enough, weeds of every variety started growing in my unplanted garden. This gave me the opportunity to go in and get a lot of the weeds up by the roots before I ever put a seed in the ground.

I did this one more time before I started planting in May to reduce the number of weeds I would spend all summer pulling.
